Confirmed from Prairie Point Community Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Field for softball, soccer, baseball and basketball, along with a skate park, picnic areas and playgrounds.
What runners say about Prairie Point Community Park
“It's pretty good size and alot of different stuff for kids of all ages to do.”
Excellent location to watch the Fourth of July fireworks every year. Great views, and nice open spaces to set up some chairs or a blanket. Kids running around having fun, playing at the playground, etc.
Perfect location to see the sun rise in the morning. Meet walkers, runners and pet walkers in the area.
Such a nice park with many opportunities for fun with your family and friends. Great area for just taking a walk or checking out the skate park where scooter kids spin and jump out of the way of the kids doing awesome tricks on thier skateboard. Nice family friendly environment
Nice park with a big long path that goes around the entire park. There are 4 baseball fields here and a nice concrete skate park. There is lots of open room in the fields but depending on the time of day there is some times misc teams holding practice here.
